Re: Suspension of Chief Dan Orbih, Edo North Senatorial Chairman and 5 other
…it’s a figment of the imagination of trouble brewers
…it’s the handy work of fifth columnists
…Suspensions, a joke taken too far
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State is constrained to react to the unacceptable and regrettable behavior of some of its members in the last few hours.
The authors of that offensive press release or communique are Trouble brewers sponsored by fifth columnists in what can only be described as a joke taken too far.
It’s unacceptable, null and void!
The unauthorized, illegal, unconstitutional and irresponsible sharing of social media post announcing suspensions of party officials is hereby condemned and denounced.
Consequently, Nigerians, Edo people and especially PDP members and supporters are adviced to ignore the post, press release or communique purporting that the National Vice Chairman, Chief Dan Osi Orbih and other elected officials of the party from Edo North Senatorial district have been suspended.
Edo PDP is a peaceful, united and vibrant political party where dialogue is our watchword. We encourage political engagements and contestations which must be guided by the tenets of our constitution. We however frown at political indiscipline that brings disrepute to our brand.
As a party in government we must live and operate by example. We must abide by the rule of law and always be conscious of the message we send to the general public at all times.
I appeal to our members across the state to remain calm and keep their eyes on the ball. Do not be distracted.
